SVO offers in-house same day X-rays, MRI, injections, leg and arm cast applications as needed for fractures, physical therapy and surgery as indicated for select patients. Dr. Masi Reynolds talks with Mark Alyn about how they are helping reduce Orthopedic emergencies during this pandemic.

In an effort to help ease the load on hospitals, emergency rooms, and urgent care facilities treating patients with COVID-19, Silicon Valley Orthopaedics announced it will be providing walk-in orthopedic services at its state of the art facility at 39180 Farwell Drive in Fremont, CA. SVO offers in-house same day X-rays, MRI, injections, leg and arm cast applications as needed for fractures, physical therapy and surgery as indicated for select patients.

It is important to understand that these services are for patients with orthopaedic problems, injuries, and pain who are NOT experiencing any symptoms of Coronavirus such as fevers, cough, shortness of breath. If you have any of these symptoms you should call or be evaluated by your local emergency room.

For those not experiencing Coronavirus symptoms but have pain or are in need of urgent orthopedic care, patients can either walk-in or contact Silicon Valley Orthopaedics at http://www.siliconvalleyortho.com or 650-379-4616.

“We want existing patients and anyone else in need to know that they can come to our state of the art facility instead of heading to an already overburdened hospital,” stated Kerisimasi Reynolds, MD, co-founder and orthopedic surgeon at Silicon Valley Orthopaedics. “For patients that do not have Coronavirus symptoms, they may call the office or walk into our clinic in Fremont at any time between 8 am and 5 pm PST, Monday through Friday, and we will see them,” added Nic Gay, MD, also a co-founder and orthopedic surgeon at SVO.

There are multiple reasons for Silicon Valley Orthopaedics implementing a walk-in system, including the fact that acute orthopedic patients with injuries have urgent orthopedic care needs, even at this time. Silicon Valley Orthopaedics is also working closely with hospitals and other acute care centers in the Freemont and surrounding areas to make sure that their expertise is available at this time.

The team at Silicon Valley Orthopaedics is dedicated to providing effective, long-lasting joint pain relief and improved mobility for their patients.

https://www.latenighthealth.com/dont-be-afraid-to-talk-to-your-doctor/#respondSun, 29 Mar 2020 05:33:20 +0000https://www.latenighthealth.com/?p=2651On average, a typical doctor’s appointment lasts less than 15 minutes. Making the most of that opportunity is critical. TheConfident Patient, a new book written by Chicago-based authors Wendy K. Benson, MBA, OTR/L and Elizabeth A. Myers, BSN, RN, coaches patients and their families through the complex healthcare system by providing real life stories, sample questions and advice from medical professionals.

After years of experiences and interviews with medical teams across the country, Benson and Myers recognized a recurring theme: medical teams intuitively want to support their patients, but they don’t always feel they’re on the same page with their patients. Ranging from managing costly medications to finding trustworthy online resources to securing second opinions, The Confident Patient shares strategies and insights on ways to improve healthcare decision-making and outcomes.

“As a nurse, I saw patients who were extremely overwhelmed with managing their experience – the role of medical personnel, who said what, which medications to take and when…it all adds up. This is compounded by health complications, insurance coverage, confusing medical terms – it’s no wonder anxiety builds,” explains Myers. “Our goal is to share our experiences with patients and their families, so they find comfort in knowing they are not alone, and they are empowered to take control of their own healthcare journey.”

Research indicates that the connection patients build with their medical team directly correlates with the confidence they have in them, as well as the confidence they have in their own decision-making abilities.

The Confident Patient go-to guide includes concrete tips and takeaways such as:

A list of questions to bring with you to your next appointment

Definitions of common medical terms and procedures

Considerations during follow-up appointments

Planning for the ‘After’: Preparing for your return home/recovery period

10 Things your Medical Team Wants you to Know

“A few years ago, as I was working with a client and I asked him about the goal of his upcoming surgery that he and his surgeon had discussed. Unfortunately, the goals were either not discussed or the patient could not recall what the goals were,” recalls Benson. “So while the patient may have expected to return to his golf game within a matter of months, the surgeon could be primarily focused on pain relief with limited mobility. We realized at that point that there can be significant gaps between medical teams and their patients. And that’s where The Confident Patient steps in,” explains Benson.

The Confident Patient is an international best-seller and is available on Amazon in paperback, as an audiobook and on Kindle, and on 2x2Health.com.
